Tufts University’s 6th annual Field Exercise in Peace and Stability Operations (FIELDEX) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary initiative led by undergraduates from the student group ALLIES (Alliance Linking Leaders in Education and the Services). FIELDEX seeks to expose participants to the difficulties of decision making during conflict, the complementary and competing interests of the stakeholders involved, and the inter-agency collaboration essential for a successful mission.

This year for the ALLIES JRP we, along with the other the other ALLIES chapters, are coordinating a research project in Indonesia, with the aid of the Military Attaché for Indonesia. We have coordinated such projects in the past, the latest being in Turkey, and they have been very successful. This trip will most likely take place in early June and last around two weeks. We are looking to send three students, so please contact Manal Cheema at Manal.Cheema@tufts.edu if you are interested. It will be a great experience!
